Good game; clunky graphicsI first played this on Facebook and was happy to see the app for iPod. It's an interesting and challenging game, but the graphics need some work.

more depth than it seemsAt first this seems like a standard match 3, but as you match colors, you create a new ball with a new color based on a preset sequence (shown at the top of the screen - e.g. 3 purple balls form to create a blue ball). As a result, you should try to plan out your matches if you can. The only downside really is that the graphics are not very exciting and there is no gamecenter or OF integration. That said, the gameplay is solid, so if you enjoy matching games with a bit more strategy involved, check this one out.

Like a brickAt first I was rather disappointed in this game. The graphics are kinda simple, and the animation is not so smooth. At first it appears to be your basic Match 3 type of game, but with a simple twist. By matching three balls of the same color, they disapper and leave another ball of a different color. At first it didn't appear to be that fun of a game.
Then after a few plays.. The strategy involved of placing certain colored balls in certain columns, to then make another different colored ball, hit me in the head like a sack of bricks. Once it all finally clicked, I didn't want to stop playing. It's fun and challenging to unlock more and more colored balls.
A perfect example of not dismissing a game, based on the first few minutes of game play. And certainly don't pass up the game based on screen shots alone.

Gotta x3 this gameThis game totally reminds me of alchemize. The matching colors will morph into a 'higher level' color etc.
But there are some slight differences: This game comes with four different game modes. There's the classic or standard play. then there is the quick mode which i guess is called quick because it will make you LOSE QUICKer, haha. instead of starting with nothing on the board you start like halfway up.
Then comes a more unique game mode. it's the freeze mode! Sounds cold doesn't it, but it really is HOT because this mode makes the game even MORE interesting and MORE challenging for those who may feel the classic mode or quick mode to be too easy. basically you have to morph the 'count down block/circle' asap or else it'll 'freeze' your neighboring particles and they won't be able to combine. Also note: there are two different skins, you can choose the circles or squares. and also there's a colorblind mode. i am not sure how good that one is since i'm not colorblind.
anyway, And then there's the custom mode, but i think this one is less interesting to me. but here you can customize what you want, obviously. haha. but there doesn't seem to be a high score category for this one, so, seems pointless for me to play. but then again i'm the competitive type of person who like leaderboards. speaking of which ...
... there are also global high scores, which i always think is a bonus, for example, I like to see how horrible i am compared to other people.
Anyway, i definitely think this is a keeper for my phone. hope you enjoy combining as much as i do. gl hf!
